Chickens can make a great addition to any homestead. They take little space, minimal maintenance, and can provide a lot of benefit to the farm. Walking out and picking farm-fresh eggs from the coop every morning as a fun and rewarding experience for the whole family.
Chickens come in many shapes, sizes and colors. Any what type of Chicken you want will greatly depend on what you are trying to achieve with your chickens. many people have “layers” for their eggs, while other people raise chickens for their meat production. Some specialist raise chickens just to show them in competitions!

Looking for a frizzle chicken. Do you have any for sale? Where is your farm?
We have two white bearded silkie roosters that need to find a home ASAP. We live in Grosse Pointe and really CANNOT have a rooster in our back yard flock. They are beautiful boys that were hatched May 3 2017. ( One just found his voice this morning!) Looking at the newly cresting head feathers I believe the other will very shortly! We are also looking for another hen or two to replace them with so Mitsy doesn’t get lonely. We would love another bearded black or buff or lavender girl or two.
Hope to hear back asap!
